Busquets is the best DM in the world, he's every bit as good at what he does as Xavi and Iniesta. Brilliant performance today, pretty much thwarting every Atlético counter attempt in this second half with his perfect positioning and anticipation. As someone in my Twitter timeline put it, "Busquets is fucking everywhere recovering every lost ball."

La Liga race over Seriously make the TV deal fairer Let's see some competition to the big 2.

Although you have a point I agree with, hardly any amount of money can create a squad able to compete with this Barca side of Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and co. over a 38 game season. Real Madrid are the most expensive squad ever assembled and they managed it once in five years (in a year where Barca slipped up far more than usual), in the other four years they were not even close.

The CL is different, as the knockout format allows for some flukes, but even then Barcelona have won two of the last four.
